25-3-2009 - 36 week checkup

My mood while writing this blog: Uncomfortable

---

So i had my 36 week checkup today. I have been feeling a ton of pressure and like i have dropped. Well his head is already engaged, i am almost to a 2 dialated and 50% effaced. So all of that is good news. She wants him to stay in at least another week but since he is measurig 38cm at 36weeks she will not stop the labor if he decides to come. However i am very depressed at the fact that i gained 4 lbs in 2 weeks. WTF!!!! That puts my total at 20lbs which is not bad overall but seriously.....2 pounds a week. Ive got to lay off the food. I have been soooo hungry all the time and i actually think i been eating out of bordom. I have been eating more at night due to the fact that i cant sleep at all anymroe. UgH!! I just have to put my foot down from here on out and pray i dont gain too much more. I want to stay below 185lbs and that wont happen if i keep gaining 2 lbs a week. Well enough bitching. I will just be thankful that baby looks healthy. Love you girls and thanks for listening.!! XOXOXO

I had the hardest time with weight gain during my last 3-5 weeks this time. That was when I quit running, and I started gaining anywhere from a pound to 3 lbs a week. I definitely ate out of boredom during that time. You're ahead of where I was, however. I think that by 36 weeks I'd gained about 30 lbs; I ended up putting on 35 total and my son was born at 38 weeks, 5 days. I doubt you're going to have much trouble losing weight this time around, especially if you've only gained 20 so far.
